Google Removes Its Help Entry on Censorship 

They should just state what, exactly, they’re doing with their Chinese search results; and if they’re embarrassed to say, then they shouldn’t be doing it.

Mangled Monaco 9 and 10 Glyphs 

Daniel Sandler with a report and screenshot of a mangled “G” in Monaco 9. I saw this two times last week with Monaco 10, with two different glyphs — “m” and “x”. Michael Tsai has seen it, and John Siracusa has been complaining about it to me via AIM, as well.

I hadn’t seen this before last week, nor had I heard about it from anyone else, so I suspect it’s a bug in Mac OS X 10.4.4. The solution seems to be to delete your font caches and restart. To do so, delete everything in this folder:

/Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/

(Or, if you use Linotype FontExplorer X, choose Tools → Clean Font Caches.)

Finding Leopard 

John Siracusa, on the Finder:

Now I know what some of you are thinking. “There goes Siracusa again, harping on his stupid Finder issues. Give it up! The Finder is fine now.” Yes, the Mac OS X Finder has gotten better over the years. But […] while I’d much rather be stabbed in the eye than shot in the head, they both still suck.
